What You're Up Against
Level 167 paints Apple with 196 tiles across 4 colors, split into 6 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Jade: 116 tiles → cubes of 46, 36, 34
- Purple: 55 tiles → cubes of 55
- Lime: 16 tiles → cubes of 16
- White: 9 tiles → cubes of 9
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
White 9
Step-by-Step Solution
This loading order was computed from the web level layout with a reachability-first strategy: always feed the ants colors they can actually reach, and never let all 5 slots fill with blocked colors. Tap hidden “?” cubes only when you have slot room to absorb a surprise color.
Load the cubes in this order, letting the ants work between picks. Unless noted, a cube's tiles are fully reachable when you send it.
- Send the Purple 55 cube. Only ~40 of its 55 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Jade 34 cube. Only ~31 of its 34 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Jade 46 cube. Only ~28 of its 46 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Jade 36 cube. Only ~18 of its 36 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Lime 16 cube. Only ~10 of its 16 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the White 9 cube. Only ~8 of its 9 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
